Child's father is homeless... now what?
My child's father is literally homeless and stays in a shelter downtown. There is no way he can pay child support. There is also no reason why he is living in a shelter. He does not have drug or alcohol addiction. He is not "mental" or anything that is keeping him from getting a job and living well. He is an able 28yr old male.
My son is 3mo now. I have never had one penny from the father. He was at the hospital and did sign the paternity paper and his name is on the birth certificate.
Shortly after he was born he borrowed money and vanished...
I filed child support but because he is "homeless" he does not have an address besides the shelter.
What can I do to terminate his rights? Will the judge agree to this if the father is volunteering?
I don't think the dad will "volunteer" but I think I could lay it out for him and in the end he may agree.
He has recently called and said he did receive the child support notice but what is that going to do?
Because he is homeless and never keeps a job longer than 3mo, will I ever see any money?
What do I do?? Ive done it all by myself since the day I found out I was pregnant.. oh and before you people judge me, I did not get pregnant because I was being irresponsible and having unprotected sex..
I am only 25 and never wanted to get pregnant so soon but I was deceived and had no clue he was not using protection. I had already gone to the doctor to get the pill (when our relationship began) and had my rx ready to take and he knew that for only a few more days we would have to use condoms.. He knew I was a "careful" person and if I ever did get pregnant I would not have an abortion, I wouldn't have to since I was taking all precautions... right?. well He didn't care, he lied and pretended to use them.. The day I finally caught him was too late. Two days later I found out I was 2wks pregnant. That was only a month into our "relationship".. I also never knew he was homeless.
Im sooo confused about this.. There is nothing he can teach my son. Me and him are two completely different people. His life is all about a scam and what he can get by lying and manipulations..
So, OK sorry about the venting...
What steps do I take.
By the way, I live in state of Texas..
